Peace in the fairyland (11): Misunderstanding

However, Xia Ruize was unable to perform the Tempering Technique smoothly. He felt that this technique was very difficult and he could not fully master it in a short period of time. He always failed to perform it. Fortunately, he was not anxious and calmed down to continue his understanding.

After a cup of tea, Xia Ruize was finally able to successfully perform the Tempering Technique. He aimed the Tempering Technique at the raw ore at his feet and cast it. Then he couldn’t help but frown.

His spiritual power, along with the spell, entangled the ore and penetrated into the interior of the ore. He could feel that some impurities were encountered in the process. The presence of those impurities made him feel very uncomfortable, and he subconsciously wanted to remove the impurities from the ore.

This process was not easy, just like a snail dragging its heavy shell and crawling slowly on a bumpy road.

Finally, he removed some impurities from the ore. He looked at the gray impurities the size of millet grains next to his original black ore, and then at the gray impurities the size of longan next to Cheng Huai’s diving feet. Xia Ruize almost laughed out loud. The difference was too obvious.

Cheng Huaiqian noticed Xia Ruize’s gain and smiled.

Cheng Huaiqian indeed felt it was very easy. After his spiritual power entangled the ore, he also immediately felt some uncomfortable impurities. The difference was that the speed at which he cleared the impurities was like a hardworking ant carrying food to its nest. Not only was his speed fast, but he could also move multiple impurities at the same time each time.

When the hour was in the second half, Master Zhao Xuhai would pass by the two of them from time to time, and each time he would pretend to be casual and check the progress of Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize.

When it was almost over, Immortal Zhao Xuhai simply didn’t leave and stood beside Cheng Huaiqian, watching him continue to refine the impurities in the ore.

Finally, an hour was over. Xia Ruize tempered a gray impurity ball the size of a ping-pong ball, and Cheng Huaiqian tempered two fist-sized impurity balls.

Immortal master Zhao Xuhai could no longer maintain his usually indifferent expression. He carefully examined the ore that had been refined by Cheng Huaiqian and found it to be very pure. This meant that Cheng Huaiqian had a very keen sense of metal materials and was born to be a weapon refiner.

Of course, Xia Ruize’s performance was also very good. The performances of the few registered disciples he was currently teaching were not as good as Xia Ruize’s at the beginning.

Immortal Zhao Xuhai couldn’t help but smile at the two of them and said bluntly:

“Both of you have the talent for refining weapons, especially Cheng Huaiqian. You are really, really suitable for the path of refining weapons. If you want to study refining weapons in depth in the future, you can come to me.”

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at each other. Although they had expected this result, they still felt relieved after hearing what Master Zhao said.

So Cheng Huaiqian turned around and said solemnly to Master Zhao Xuhai:

“Master Zhao, I would like to learn more about weapon refining from you.”

Hearing this, the smile on Zhao Xuhai’s face froze. He then turned around anxiously, sighed, and said:

“Ah, I really want to take you in as my disciple right away, but I can’t do that yet. You are still too young, and the Headmaster won’t agree to you putting too much energy into anything other than cultivation. How about this? I will discuss it with the Headmaster first and then give you an answer.”

Zhao Xuhai’s feelings were so complicated. When he discovered Cheng Huaiqian’s amazing talent, he wanted to take him in as a registered disciple immediately. But when Cheng Huaiqian really agreed, he didn’t dare to agree immediately. Alas, this was really…

After comforting Cheng Huaiqian, Zhao Xuhai looked at Xia Ruize again with some expectation in his eyes.

Xia Ruize smiled and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Immortal Zhao. I am ready to learn the art of alchemy.”

Immortal Zhao Xuhai suddenly felt regretful and anxious. He anxiously turned around and said to the two of them, “Let’s end the class here for today. Come on, I’ll take you back, and then I’ll talk to the Headmaster.”

On the way back, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian also sat on the chairs and flew with Immortal Master Zhao Xuhai. After dropping the two off in the outer disciples’ courtyard, Immortal Master Zhao Xuhai disappeared impatiently, and the direction he was heading was exactly the hill where Immortal Master Dugu Shanhai was.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian smiled at each other. They had already decided that there were too many things to learn in this mission world, and their time and energy were limited, so they had to give up some of them appropriately. At least in the two aspects of alchemy and weapon refining, the two decided to go deeper into one of them.

Having decided to go the path of mutual complementation, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian happily returned to their rooms to practice.

The Cheng family members at the foot of the mountain were very angry. After they went to the Qingyang Sect office several times but were refused to help them pass on the message, they thought of a new way.

The Cheng family found other relatives in Qingyang City who were also here to visit the children, and asked them to pass the message to the children in Qingyang Sect, asking them to find Cheng Huaiqian and deliver the Cheng family’s message in person.

After two outer disciples came knocking on the door to deliver messages, Cheng Huaiqian was unhappy about being disturbed again. He directly asked Wu Wei to stand at the door and not let anyone approach no matter who came to deliver the message. He directly replied that he, Cheng Huaiqian, did not want to see the Cheng family.

With the promotion of some people with ulterior motives, the news that Cheng Huaiqian was ungrateful and forgot his ancestors quickly spread. Now, everyone knew about it. Not only outsiders could not contact Cheng Huaiqian, but even his relatives could not contact him.

Wu Wei vaguely heard some rumors and felt that Senior Brother Cheng’s actions were a bit too cruel, so he quickly advised him against it, worrying that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian would be isolated by other disciples.

It was a pity that no matter how anxious Wu Wei was, the two brothers didn’t care at all. They just closed the door and concentrated on their cultivation.

The new day’s class was a practice class. Headmaster Dugu brought Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian back to Xinyang Peak where he lived. He and Immortal Hua Manyue had an exquisite courtyard on the top of Xinyang Peak. When Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian arrived, they saw that Immortal Hua Manyue had already prepared some spiritual fruits and teas waiting for them.

“Come, sit down, sit down and chat first.” Seeing Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, Immortal Hua Manyue gently invited them to sit down, and enthusiastically pushed the spiritual fruit and spiritual tea in front of the two of them, “Immortal Song said that you like to drink spiritual tea, come, try it, these are all prepared for you.”

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian thanked him and took the teacup. They found that although the effect of this spiritual tea was not as obvious as that from the immortal Song Fengyu, the advantage was that they could drink it freely. The spiritual fruits were sweet and juicy and could be eaten freely because the spiritual energy contained in these things was within their ability to bear.

“Huaiqian, Master Zhao said that you want to practice refining weapons now? I want to hear your thoughts.”

Headmaster Dugu’s tone was also very gentle, and he started the conversation as if he was just chatting.

Cheng Huaiqian looked at Xia Ruize and replied:

“After these days of study, I have gained a certain understanding of refining weapons. I think I have enough energy to take care of both cultivation and refining weapons at the same time.” Cheng Huaiqian smiled, “And the allocation of time and energy is up to me. I will adjust it myself.”

After Cheng Huaiqian finished speaking, Xia Ruize beside him also said:

“I also want to start studying the art of alchemy. I am very interested in it and I think I have enough energy to devote to it despite the current academic pressure.”

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian both spoke with certainty, indicating that they had made up their minds.

Hearing this, Dugu Shanhai and Hua Manyue were very worried. After thinking for a moment, Immortal Hua Manyue said gently:

“Huaiqian, I heard that your family has been staying in Qingyang City recently and trying every means to meet you. I even heard some of your experiences at home, including Ruize’s. After you entered the Qingyang Sect, the sect sent people to learn about your past.”

They directly and openly told them that the Qingyang Sect had investigated the backgrounds of the two people. Immortal Hua Manyue carefully observed the two young men and found that they did not show any anger, then continued:

“I understand that you want to grow up as quickly as possible and get rid of the influence of your family, but this should not be based on hurting yourself.

Now that you are members of the Qingyang Sect, you don’t have to worry about your original family still being able to threaten you. So, what your Headmaster Dugu and I mean is that you don’t have to be so hard-working and anxious. You should enjoy the vitality of your age and don’t have to lock yourself in your room all day to practice.

And your current practice is like, as if every day is your last day.

In reality, there are many beautiful things in life. The flowers on the Jade Peak of Immortal Song never fall all year round, and the sunlight in the Golden Palace of Immortal Luo is the most brilliant. You are still young, and there is no need to force yourself to practice every minute and every second. With your talents, you will have a long life, and there is no rush to practice. But some scenery will be missed if you miss it. “

Immortal Hua Manyue’s voice was very gentle, and she spoke slowly and carefully, trying to comfort the two young people who, in her eyes, were stuck in a dilemma.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huai looked at each other in surprise, as if they could see a hint of depression in each other’s eyes. How could they act like the poor little ones who were being persecuted?

Perhaps Immortal Hua found out that “they” had not lived a happy life in their respective families before, and believed that the reason they practiced madly as soon as they entered the sect was to get rid of their respective families?

This was a real misunderstanding.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had actually just developed a habit. The previous mission worlds were only for a short time, and they raced against time to learn whenever they had the chance to do so. Especially in the last magic world, all the students studied like crazy under the urging of the teachers.

As a result, when they arrived in this mission world, their performance was out of tune with the people around them, which instead caused concern among their teachers.

After discussing for a while, Xia Ruize smiled and said:

“Thank you for your concern, Immortal Hua. However, we two really don’t think that cultivation is a hard thing. On the contrary, we enjoy the process of cultivation and are happy for every progress we make. Cultivation is our greatest pleasure.”

Cheng Huaiqian on the side nodded heavily to show his agreement.

Hua Manyue and Dugu Shanhai looked at each other and felt powerless. They were not persuaded by Xia Ruize’s words and still believed that the two were practicing self-torture.

But they obviously couldn’t persuade the two young men. Dugu Shanhai pondered for a long time and said:

“Okay, you can study the subjects that interest you. Just remember to take time to relax when you feel tired.” It seemed that he had to pay more attention to these two little guys in the future and not let them work themselves out too much.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian both nodded in agreement.

“Okay, come, let me see how your practice is going.”

Dugu Shanhai pointed to the open space next to him. The space was large enough for Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian to demonstrate freely.
